this is a NuBus based machine which the linux kernel does not
support.  however the freak cousin mklinux does.  i have heard it is
possible to install debian under the mklinux kernel but i am not sure
how that would work.  (i assume just boot mklinux with the debian root
ramdisk and install as normal, if mklinux is compatible with the linux
kernel it should work..)

i have friends who run mklinux and have found it not all that
reliable, but perhaps that is due to the redhat userland mess normally
associated with mklinux.  perhaps debian under mklinux would work
better... but i don't have any direct experience so i cannot say for sure.
